(Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yamano) aims to realize a well-being society by making “play” a rich and colorful part of life, on par with food, clothing and shelter, under its mission of “Live with Play.” Tomohisa (hereinafter, “our company”) is pleased to announce that the “Children’s Experience Gap Elimination Project” (hereinafter, “Experience Gap Elimination Project”), in which we have been participating as one of the initiators since January 2023, will start crowdfunding on Thursday, July 24, 2025 to raise funds for the “Summer School” experience, which will provide children with experiences during the summer vacation period. This crowdfunding will be carried out through the Asoview! platform operated by our company until Wednesday, August 20, 2025. Background of this crowdfunding campaign Currently, one in seven children in Japan is from a relatively poor family, and it has been reported that in 2021, 244,940 elementary and junior high school students will not be attending school, the highest number ever. Many children who are economically disadvantaged or socially isolated are in a situation where they are not given the opportunity to experience nature and culture, or to interact with friends and people of different generations. Experiences that involve nature and culture, and playing with friends, are said to be very important opportunities for developing children’s self-esteem and non-cognitive abilities (abilities such as motivation,
perseverance, cooperation, and self-control that cannot be measured by intelligence tests or academic achievement tests). Such disparities in opportunities for experiences have arisen, but the reality is that the government and local authorities have provided little support to correct the disparities in experiences. We have decided to carry out this crowdfunding campaign in order to correct this “experience disparity” and provide children in difficult situations with lifelong memories through experiences, especially during the long summer vacation period.
